Fraud patterns
Spot repeat uploads, duplicate receipts, and setups that make a challenge easy to game.
Protect your reward budget from shoppers trying to game a receipt challenge, without rejecting every unusual case. Fraud control is part watching for suspicious behavior and part setting up your rules well. Here are the patterns worth watching and how to harden the challenge against them.
Symptom
The same proof of purchase keeps appearing, rewards drain faster than real participation explains, or operators keep correcting the same kind of receipt.
Patterns worth watching
Practical defenses
- Keep your store, amount, and location rules aligned with the real campaign terms.
- Use manual review for higher-value activations.
- Test a few bad receipts before launch so the rules block the obvious abuse paths.
